Seeking a source of cross training she stumbled upon Bikram’s Beginner’s Hot Yoga class; a 26 posture, 90 minute class practiced in a 105 degree heated room. Julie was hooked. She graduated from Bikram’s teacher training in LA in June 2002 and went on to open her own studio, Yoga Zone in Millburn, NJ.After practicing the Bikram series for several years, Julie began to yearn for more. This desire for something greater pushed her to explore several other styles of yoga which is how she found her true place in the yoga world: Vinyasa! “It just opened me up, physically and spiritually in a way I had never thought possible!” With this new found passion and some life changes, Julie closed Yoga Zone in the fall of 2005 and went to train with Baron Baptiste in 2006. She has also learned from Rolf Gates and Vinnie Marino over the years.
